Several health benefits of fish oil supplements have been proved in the last few years. But as per a new research by an Australian team of scientists, regular intake of fish oil supplements containing Omega-3 fatty acids along with moderate exercises like walking for 45mins can significantly help people suffering from obesity to lose weight.

Obesity is not only the most common nutritional disorder but is also a risk factor for a number of diseases. A number of metabolic syndromes associated with obesity include blood pressure, high blood triglycerides, precursor to diabetes, insulin resistance or heightened insulin levels. But as per the research finding, the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are actually are polyunsaturated fats which helps in oxidising or burning of body fat. However, merely regular intake of fish oil supplements won’t have much effect in fighting obesity. Regular exercise is also a must to increase the metabolic rate in order to lower body fat. Fish oil in addition with regular exercises increases the elasticity of blood vessel walls and improves the flow of blood to muscles during exercises. The research confirmed people losing an average of 4.5lb of weight over a period of three months.

Hence those of you loves eating oily fish like sardines, here is another reason to add them frequently to your lunch or dinner. The Omega-3 fatty acids present in the fish oil not only make you age slowly and maintain good health but also help to keep your weight down. The fish oil is also helpful in fighting visceral obesity typically found in obese men. The 3 long chain of fatty acids namely eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Omega-3 fatty acids lower the plasma triacylglycerols and hence a potentially effective treatment for obesity-related dyslipidemia.
